Industrial lager and mass-produced wine is so full of filth that one drink is enough to give you all the symptoms of a bastard of a hang-over. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52199#post-150422 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 10:03:03 +0000 button 150422@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Rehydration salts.

AA is for quitters.</p> <p>With several decades of experience on this topic, I can assuredly state that the only way to avoid a hangover is to drink at least a quart of water before going to bed. (AKA: passing out.) Also, keep a huge flagon of water on your bedside table for quaffing during sleepytime. That's it.</p> <p>Drunken dancing? Everyone's been there.
